FOREWORD

Congratulations on choosing a Yamarin Cross 53 Bow Rider!

This manual will familiarise you with the features of your new boat and help with its care and maintenance. It has been written to help you learn to handle your boat safely and avoid any problems. Make sure that you have received manuals for all equipment fitted on your boat. Supplement this manual with the specifications and manuals of equipment you purchase later for your boat. Space has been left for your own notes at the end of the manual. Please read this manual carefully and familiarise yourself with the craft before using it.

If this is your first craft, or you are changing to a type of craft you are not familiar with, please ensure that you obtain sufficient handling and operating experience before "assuming command" of the craft. This is highly important for your own comfort and safety. Your dealer or national sailing association or yacht club will be happy to advise you of local boating schools or competent instructors.

This owner's manual is not a detailed maintenance or trouble shooting guide. In case of difficulty please contact the dealer. Always use qualified and competent people for the maintenance, repair and modification of the boat. Modifications that may affect the safety characteristics of the craft must be assessed, executed and documented by competent people. The manufacturer is not responsible for modifications he has not approved.

Always keep your boat in a good condition and be aware that the boat requires maintenance and servicing. Any craft – no matter how strong it may be, can be severely damaged if not used properly. Always adjust the speed and direction of the craft to prevailing weather conditions.

We wish you enjoyable and relaxing times on board your Yamarin Cross 53 Bow Rider!

BEFORE YOU SET OFF

Familiarise yourself with this owner’s manual. Always check at least the following items before leaving:

−−−−

Weather conditions and forecast

Take the wind, waves and visibility into account. Are the design category, size and

equipment of your boat, as well as the skills of the skipper and crew adequate for the waters you are headed for? Hull windows and hatches must be battened down during heavy wind and rough seas to prevent water incursion.

−−−−

Loading and stability

Do not overload the craft, and distribute loads appropriately. Heavy items are to be placed

in the storage compartments underneath the aft bench. Please consider that the stability of the boat is reduced if people stand up when on board.

−−−−

Passengers

Ensure that there are personal flotation devices or lifejackets for all people on board.

Agree on crew tasks before setting off.

−−−−

Fuel and fuel system

Make sure that the boat has enough fuel, including reserve fuel for e.g. heavy weather.

Keep in mind that rough conditions at sea impact on fuel consumption and that it can increase by more than 30% when compared to calm conditions As a rule of thumb you should have at least 20% fuel left in the tank at the end of your trip. Regularly check the fuel filter to ensure that there is no water in the moisture trap located under the fuel filter itself. The fuel filter should be changed 1-2 times per year depending on engine hours and quality of fuel.

−−−−

Engine and manoeuvring equipment

Check the function and condition of steering and remote control, and carry out routine

checks according to the engine manual.

−−−−

Seaworthiness

Check the boat’s seaworthiness: there are no fuel or water leaks, safety equipment must be available on board etc. Check that there is no water in the bilge.

−−−−

Fastening of equipment

Check that all onboard items are positioned so that they are held in place also during rough

seas and high winds. Please note that the seat cushions may fly over board if they are not fixed properly with press studs.

−−−−

Nautical charts

If you are not navigating in completely familiar waters, ensure you have nautical charts on

board that cover a large enough area! If your boat is equipped with a chart plotter, learn to use it before setting off. Ensure that the plotter charts are of the latest edition.

−−−−

Leaving the berth

Agree with the crew who will release each mooring line, etc. Be careful not to let mooring

lines or the anchoring line tangle in the propeller during manoeuvring.

−−−−

Obligatory equipment

What is considered obligatory equipment varies from country to country. Find out what is required for your boat.

2 Definitions

The warnings and cautions in this manual are defined as follows:

DANGER! Denotes an extreme intrinsic hazard which will result in high probability

of death or irreparable injury if proper precautions are not taken.

WARNING! Denotes a hazard which can result in injury or death if proper

precautions are not taken.

NOTE! Denotes a reminder of safety practices or directs attention to unsafe

practices which could result in personal injury or damage to the craft or components or the environment.

The units used in this manual are in accordance with the SI system. In some cases other units have been added in brackets. An exception is wind speed, where the Beaufort scale is used in the recreational craft directive.

3 Warranty

The boat and its factory-installed equipment have a two (2) year warranty, starting from the first day of use. Please contact your dealer regarding any potential warranty issues. Please remember to provide the CIN-code. If possible, please provide a digital photograph of the subject of your claim. This usually speeds up the claims process.

4 Before use

4.1 Registration

Registration regulations vary from country to country. Find out what is required as regards your own boat.

4.2 Insurance

Boat insurance can compensate damage occurring on water or during transport and lifting. Check who has insurance liability each time when having the boat lifted. Insurance also has an indirect effect on safety at sea: In the event of a serious accident or damage, you must, above all, concentrate on saving people. Insurance companies will be able to give more information about different insurance alternatives. Check who has insurance liability each time when having the boat lifted or transported!

4.3 Training

No one is a born sailor. There is plenty of boating literature available. Navigation courses are arranged by local yacht clubs or national boating associations where you can gain basic skills. However, please remember that you only become confident in boat handling, navigation, docking and anchoring after long practical experience.

5 Characteristics and use of your boat

5.1 General

The owner’s manual is not meant to be a complete service or repair manual, but to guide the user in using his/her boat in a proper way.

5.2 Basic data

Recreational crafts can be constructed according to 4 categories (A, B, C and D) according to recreational craft directive 94/25/EC. The Yamarin Cross 53 BR is designed according to design category C , which means the following:

The boat is built for conditions where the wind reaches a maximum of 6 Beaufort (approx. 14 m/s) and corresponding seas (significant wave height at most 2 metres). Such conditions may be encountered on exposed inland waters, in estuaries, and in coastal waters in moderate weather conditions.

Significant wave height is the mean height of the highest third of the waves, which approximately corresponds to the wave height as estimated by an experienced observer. Individual waves may reach up to twice this height. If the significant wave height is 2.0 m, the mean height of all waves is roughly 1.2 m.

Maximum recommended load: See technical specifications Please also refer to section 5.4 “Loading”.

Main dimensions and capacities: See technical specifications Craft length, width, draught, total weight etc. as well as tank capacities are

shown in the technical specifications.

Builder's plate:

Part of the previously mentioned information is given on the builder's plate,

which is affixed next to the driver’s seat. The remaining information is given in the relevant sections of this manual.
